Astro Prototype (personal project):

Update: added more aliens, changed camera to more-top down shooter, expanded environment assets, added interior, trying to get a more fun gameplay loop going.

Here's a prototype I've been playing around with in Unity, mainly focused on figuring out 3rd person camera/movement with zoom to over-the-shoulder FPS aiming/shooting as well as a chance to play with high-res asset pipeline.

Unity scene, instead of terrain sculpting in editor, I modeled the terrain tiles in Maya that snap together, then used Amplfy shader to create 4 layer blend material that uses RGB mask from Photoshop to blend between textures (dirt, rock, alien crust, alien goop):
